Abstract
Many high schools have to tackle the problem of placement of the students who want to enroll in them, and into tracks, classes and vocational programs. The decision-making process of matching between individual aspirations and the system capabilities is known to be complicated and ineffective. This paper describes a decision support system developed to assist the principal and the counselors in the placement process and the integration of the system in school.
“SHESHET” is the Hebrew for a decision support system named after Robinson Crusoe’s servant Friday.
